Military service leaves a lasting imprint, not only in memory, but in mindset, values and leadership. This ANZAC Day, we recognise members of our UGL community whose service continues to influence the way they work, support others and contribute to projects and communities across the organisation.
David Gallasch - Contract Manager
For David, service in the Army Reserve built a strong foundation of teamwork, accountability and purposeful leadership. Working in structured environments where trust and shared responsibility are essential, shaping how he approaches leadership and problem solving.
“Army service taught me that strong outcomes come from trust, discipline and shared responsibility. Those values stay with you, and I bring them into my work at UGL every day.”
David applies these principles by leading by example, communicating clearly, and ensuring work is carefully planned and executed. He values environments where people look out for one another and where decisions are made with safety, effectiveness and the broader team in mind.
“ANZAC Day reminds me that service does not end with the uniform. It is about honouring those who came before us and carrying their values forward through responsibility, mateship and shared purpose, something I experience every day at UGL.”
